Ignore that one 'no', it's just me being blur and pressing wrongly 8D /is shot/

I'm in Japan now so i can't really help out with the discussion, but for those who are my friends on eljay, feel free to poke around my journal to see the discussion about this thread. 8D

I need to spoof because my sis wants to use.

//edit : and if you aren't my friend on eljay, I suggest you add me like NAO because I love eljay friends too n_n

XD Those who want to participate, it's now open since I figure there's no use sitting around waiting for one of us (the mods or Sheena-luv or me) to do something.

Place a flower claim here?

(FYI, Yellow Rose and Sweet Pea has been claimed. ._. so there.)

... Am I allowed to choose something first but change my mind if the one I want to change to hasn't been taken? Cause there are too many to choose from and I tend to be quite indecisive.

Edit: I'm taking morning glory. xD

Can I pick from here? =O http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_flowers Or does it have to be from the Hanakotoba page? :/

If I can, I claim Snowdrop. I already started writing my ficcy and it has a Christmas background thing-y. That can be, right? Even though it's not supposed to be a Christmas fic. /shot

If not, then I claim Camellia (Yellow).

CLAIMING HOLLY/MISTLETOE 8Db

E: WAIT WAIT. I think I want Zinnia, too. D:

ARGH.

Oh hey, wait. A holly and/or mistletoe doesn't really look like a flower (aren't they fruits?). Do they count? Because if not, I'm claiming Zinnia. :///

#6 Sep 17th, 1:09am . Edited Sep 17th, 1:16am
disfigured-dream

I claim the Red Spider Lily - it's too appropriate for Jigoku Shoujo, 'cause the flowers appear all the time. XD

#7 Sep 17th, 1:57am
Kemi-chii

Okay, well. If Vio-chan didn't told me about this, I wouldn't have any idea about it at all. :P

Sorry, I'm being one of the party poopers, voting for a...'no.' Well, it's not really because I don't like the idea (awin-dono started this right? So I think it's kind of impossible for me not to like it), it's just that...I don't have the muse. Well, add school to that and WHOOSH. CRAP. So yeah.

But I'd be happy to read. :) Really. Good luck with the ones doing it! ^^;;

#8 Sep 17th, 4:29am

It has to be from the hanakotoba page, La~na~chan~

It's called the hanakotoba challenge afterall. /is killed/

#9 Sep 17th, 6:01am
The Night Owl is Addicted

Wasn't this idea from Kura?

Anyway, soooo, again (so as not to flood XP) can I use holly and/or mistletoe?

Also, I saw in the PoT minutes thread that Kura said their idea was to use at least one flower. Does that apply till now? O:

#10 Sep 17th, 7:15am
yoshikochan

:D Can I claim Thistle?

#11 Sep 17th, 7:46am
SakuraIroKaze

To Gelly - it still does, so long as there's enough flowers to go around for everyone. If there isn't, we'll request of you to kindly give up your second (less used) flower.

Forget-me-nots have been snatched by me.

//edit: since it hasn't been claimed, obviously you can, Shiko-chan. And welcome to the forum, unless you're one of the people who never popped by for a long time so much that even meee can forget your name O_O

#12 Sep 17th, 2:34pm . Edited Sep 17th, 2:36pm
awintea

Wait, Kura-tan~. If you're claiming forgot-me-nots than who's claiming yellow rose and sweet peas? XD

Wait, which one is Gelly-chan using then? And I'm sure there'll be enough flowers. XD

edit: Also, cactus is mine~~~. ♥

#13 Sep 17th, 2:38pm . Edited Sep 17th, 2:45pm
SakuraIroKaze

XD I'm claiming sweet peas and forget-me-nots. Yellow Roses is Sheena's.

Gelly is using... both? lololidk Gelly-senpai check your earlier post O_O if you don't want it edit it offfff.

#14 Sep 17th, 2:47pm

So, we claim the flower here, right?~

I'll take primrose then~~. n_n

I've been a bad forumer D= So I shall enter this and atone for being so uncommitted! xD;

Can I have the camellia ( white ), please? Unless it will actually clash with Lana's, and in that case, please tell me. =D ( I wanted to pick dahlia, too, but 'good taste' is kind of difficult. ;~; )

#16 Sep 18th, 4:37am
The Night Owl is Addicted

I think I'm more partial to Zinnia now rather than the holly/mistletoe. :3

#17 Sep 18th, 6:39am
awintea

No, that's fine, finny~. I'll put you down as that for now, and if you want Dahlia as well just make another post~. And I'm putting you as zinnia, Gelly =D

#18 Sep 18th, 4:14pm
Crooked Mile

Since -sob- someone already picked the red spider lily, I will take....the morning glory. . To dedicate to my new fandom of Nabari no Ou. -pauses, then starts to cry again- It's a series as depressing as X/1999 sometimes.

(runs off so she stops spamming)

#19 Sep 18th, 4:42pm
SakuraIroKaze

Mile-tan, Eri-tan has already taken morning glory ._.

Sorry. DD: Do you want me to switch? I don't really mind.

#21 Sep 18th, 8:44pm
SakuraIroKaze

I think I forgot to mention, but you can post your stories at any time, okay? Just create a link here 8D

Also, please state in your notes/disclaimer/anything that it's written for the Hanakotoba prompt challenge @ FFnet's PoT forum.

For example, here's mine :

Is there any word/length requirement/minimum/limit/whatever?

(ALSO AKSDHASJKDAJKS NABARI NO OU. CROOKED MILE-CHAN WE MUST FLAIL ABOUT THE SERIES SOMETIME YES)

#23 Sep 19th, 6:25am
SakuraIroKaze

There's no word limit, but please do try to make it a long enough, enjoyable read. Not too long; please keep it to a one-shot if possible. It's easier to judge.

#24 Sep 19th, 7:57am
Crooked Mile

Oh. O.O (pauses, wondering how she missed that) It's fine, it's fine! :D I'll pick another one. Hmm... I guess I'll take the yellow camellia.

(Yes, the flailing over Nabari no Ou must commence immediately! -suddenly recalls; starts crying again- Yoooiiitteee! T.T)

#25 Sep 19th, 3:31pm
SakuraIroKaze

That's taken too. DX

#26 Sep 19th, 8:31pm

I will never win, will I? XD I'm starting to get paranoid. Can I take lotus?

#27 Sep 19th, 9:19pm
finding

Yoite ;~; That name brings back so much, haha. XD Also, what I wanted to ask was: Must the flower itself be present in the fic? Like, you have to mention it somewhere, physically? Instead of just metaphorically comparing its meaning to the plot of the story or something?

#28 Sep 19th, 10:43pm . Edited Sep 20th, 12:52am
SakuraIroKaze

XD You can, mile-chan~ Lotus isn't taken.

As for melo-senpai, Sheena-luv has said this:

"can be flower colour, meaning, whatever, as long as the flower is mentioned once."

So you don't really have to mention it per se, so long as it is present, y'know?

#29 Sep 20th, 7:48am
Milai Sapphire

Heard about this from yoshikochan, so hehe thought I'd try writing something for it. xD; Sounds fun ^^

Flower: Azalea

Thanks~

#30 Sep 20th, 12:30pm
awintea

Sure, Milai~. I'll add you to the list n___n Also, since you know yoshikochan, I assume, can you pass on the message? Thistle, the flower she's using, is technically not on the list of flowers with hanakotoba on wikipedia, so we just want to make sure she's using the Japanese language of flowers instead of the European one - that is, independence, austerity and the like rather than nobility as the meaning?~

#31 Sep 20th, 1:09pm
Sweet Obsidian Rain

See, i wasn't sure if I wanted to join in on this or not. But then I checked the list and thought, "Oh, I really want to do the cactus!"

BUT THEN I LOOK BACK HERE AND CASIE ALREADY HAS IT. D: XDDDDDDDD

Hmmm, let's see...

Is Gardenia taken? If not, I'll take it. But I'll say now that I don't know if I can get it finished.

#32 Sep 20th, 4:27pm
SakuraIroKaze

It's not, Rea. XD Casie-nee is going to add you to the list (whenever she sees this, anyway)

#33 Sep 20th, 9:05pm
HaveYouNoMercy

I can't believe I haven't seen this until now. =.=

Does anyone even remember me anymore? XD Anyways, I'll be taking the Oniyuri. I think it's called Tiger Lily in English? Let me check.

Yup, it is. =D I want that one. XD

#34 Sep 20th, 9:25pm
awintea

I beat you to the cactus, Rain 8DDD (I totally knew you'd want it 8D But you can't have it 'cause it's mine and I have a darling plot kitty for it.)

So adding Meru-nyan and Rain to the list nooooooow. I don't know, Kura-tan - do you want to be in charge of the list? I feel like I'm being tyrannical and taking over your duty as the prompt challenge organiser .______.

#35 Sep 21st, 1:30pm
SakuraIroKaze

I totally don't mind, nee-chan~ n_n I'll make a list of untaken flowers -soon- XD

#36 Sep 21st, 2:41pm
HaveYouNoMercy

Ooooh, and I'm going to mention the Dahlia in my fic and it might have a special impact to the story so I'm not sure what to say or do...

I'm rambling, aren't I? If Tiger Lily and Dahlia could be listed under my name and I could put them in the same fic I'd be so very very happy. =D

Rambling again.

#37 Sep 21st, 4:59pm
awintea

Yes you can have more than one flower, so yes you can have Dahlia~. =D

#38 Sep 21st, 5:19pm
doroniasobi

I totally forgot about this until sono-tan reminded me that I was entering this. XD Is it okay if I claim hinagiku? Uh... Daisy, methinks. XD I have this thing running in my head and it will die if the daisy is taken. XD

#39 Sep 23rd, 1:20pm
awintea

Sure, have Daisy~. Shall add you to the list, doro-dono.

#40 Sep 23rd, 2:13pm
HaveYouNoMercy

-cries- I am such a nerd. I finished my story, and it's really very much fail~

It's here. =.= http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5397648/1/ Made like that because FF.Net is disagreeing with me severely.

I'm tired.

Edit: And it's PoT, because I don't know about any other fandoms enough to write well for them. XD

#41 Sep 23rd, 8:56pm . Edited Sep 24th, 9:16pm
Kemi-chii

I'm sorry for being nosy, but the 'any fandom' thing means, it could be a pairing of OCs? Like...hmm... Carl x Vinny for example? (Well, QSS is a fandom for me. So yeah. :P)

In case my understanding is correct, I'd take my 'no' back. ^^;; I suddenly had this 'thing' when I was thinking what to think. YES. That's crazy. ;_; I know. And in that case, I'd take Lavender then post the crap on LJ. :) That is, if you don't mind.

But, if that's not it, then I guess I'd just be contented to read your works. ;_; HOHO. HECK.

edit: Or wait, the flower-claiming had been closed? ;_; Awww... :(

#42 Sep 24th, 8:56am . Edited Oct 02nd, 2:25am
SakuraIroKaze

XD Yes, 'any fandom' includes OCs. Or else Sheena-luv and I have wrote unrelated stuff.

It's not been closed, Kemi-tan~ :D You can still take it. You can claim and claim all the way up to november and your fics have to be done by then.

#43 Sep 24th, 2:32pm
Sweet Obsidian Rain

It's be a good idea to mention what fandom you are writing for once you link it here because I don't really like it when I'm supposedly reading fanfiction, but don't know what the heck the fandom is (about).

XD Just poppin in to be pushy. -shot-

#44 Sep 24th, 9:04pm
SakuraIroKaze

Okay fine. I wrote original. XDD

#45 Sep 25th, 4:37am

Actually, I think I shall change my flower from primrose to white chrysanthemum, if that's all right~. n_n

#46 Sep 28th, 8:28pm

If no one has taken it, it's all yours, Fonii-chan-senpai~

Sorry, but can I have the edelweiss, too? =D Thanks!

#48 Sep 30th, 12:31am

Of course you can, if it isn't already claimed. XD
